There has been no word on how long the cleanup will take or how much damage was caused.
Lincoln saw Servpro staff bring dozens of fans into the jail to help with the drying out.
In October, a pipe inside the jail burst during planned maintenance, damaging several servers and costing the county $1 million to replace, Ivory said.
Those were the same servers affected in Saturday’s incident, she said.
